Thanked 2,222 Times in 1,791 PostsI had the same on an ex cop car I had, if you can't tighten the nut up any more then you need a new wiper arm. As the arm is aluminium and the wiper shaft is steel if anything sticks it's the arm that knackers up, thankfully it's an easy fix.

Thanked 370 Times in 267 Postsarm nut = 8mm. If the splines are fubar'd, replacement motor. lost count of how many I've got spare. If I can help feel free to ask. Pass side EASY to change, drivers side, bit of a pain coz theres not enough clearance to remove the motor. You'll need to shift the rad pack back a bit to gain clearance.
